Iowa vs Ball State

The "during the week" thread.

I look for a very close game between these two teams. Hopefully, Iowa comes out on top. Looking to see this Iowa team make a big jump in performance against Ball St. If they do, this should be an easy win.
Would love to see a blowout where the #2's see live game action. However, that is probably wishful thinking.

Kirk doesn't do blowouts, he does close games and is happy to win by 3, we should know this by now

Iowa 44 Ball St 24

All Ball State has to do is chuck it downfield and watch our secondary look in confusion

 

[wingsauce7]

they don't need to "chuck it down-field" anyone watching our game 1 film will throw it across the middle, about 6-8 yards deep and then run for 20 more. God, we're missing Kirksey, Morris and Hitchens.

Personally,I don't care if we win every game by 3...

I agree with running ISO's against Iowa's LBers. Word is out after the UNI game that we struggled covering David Johnson out of the backfield. Granted...DJ was the best player on the field last Saturday. And I'm not sure that Ball St has that kind of RB. I also don't think Iowa showed too much against UNI.

I still think the game is a close one. Hopefully, Iowa comes out on top.

I'm thinking:
Iowa 31
Ball St 27

ESPN2. Hopefully we get to listen to the hot woman broadcast the game...

 

[Think McFly Think]

You talkin' bout Beth Mowins? Yuck.

 

[wingsauce7]

I don't know what her name is, but she really does it for me.
..and a great football mind.

 

[Think McFly Think]

Lol, yeah and she's usually paired with Joey Galloway too rounding up the IQ to just below double digits.

 

[hoopsalot25]

Very pathetic performance in this first half.

 

[hoopsalot25]

Pathetic rushing attack. I thought Iowa had a strong o-line?
More dink-and-dunk passes.
Beathard throws a nice long ball...Ruddock throws a weak long ball. Ruddock had Canzeri wide open, but throws it behind him. That cost Iowa a TD on that play.
Iowa's defense has shut Ball St down for the game.

 

[wingsauce7]

Can't we get KoK back?

 

[wingsauce7]

-9 for the kickers.

 

[hoopsalot25]

16 years of inconsistent offense has produced (quite ironic here) consistency in the offense.

It is time for a whole new coaching staff at the University of Iowa.

A $17 million buyout is NOT gonna happen.

Anyone know why Iowa can't catch a punt?
